Should we by grateful for all that we have got in our lives?

Hello

Some people in a near death experience, they said that they spoke to God about their attitudes in their lives. They were told that they should be able to appreciate, be grateful and happy for their blessings in their lives etc.

I am not in so much agreement.

So many people, they have extreme problems in their lives; and we compare our selves to them, such as people that are starving or homeless, and we count our blessings because it is not so bad for us if we can eat.

We are told that we should be thankful for what we have and should not complain all the time.

I agree that we should not complain all the time when people have it worse off, but to say that we should be grateful for all our blessings is a different situation.

We all have the potential to do better, and get better; well if we count our blessing and appreciate and we are satisfied with what we have, we cannot have a mentality that is based on progress and will not push to the limits of what we can do.

With out the pride and the passion, which is needed to be able to better our lives; we will not only not be able to benefit our selves a lot more, but will not be able to benefit other people with our creations, including the starving and the homeless people.

Progress and quality of life enhancement should come before all our, and in a way that supposed caring and good morals. Do not feel satisfied with your lives, do not feel that you have all your blessings addressed and count them all; you should not complain all the time, but do not have an attitude of thinking "I have all that I could ever want" from what you have in your current circumstances.

You have much to achieve and much more than you could have ever have imagined to gain, more than you can comprehend.

The put a man on the moon, and scientists have saved millions of lives by preventing cancers and heart disease, millions of lives have been save from engineering and from advances in technology and medicine.

Why should be satisfied with what we've got? What a waste of human potential!

People have no idea of what they can do when they try. Many 'house-wives' and mothers assume that they are just ordinary people that are not capable of much and see them selves as humble people; but this is an illusion created by their minds, for most of them have never even given anything a proper go to be able to determine what their limitations really are. There is no such a thing as a person that is only this as they claim; they say that they don't know how to use a computer when they haven't even tried to learn how to turn one on; how can they know what they can and cannot do?

When we are suffering from problems in our lives, why not; instead of counting our blessings and being grateful for what we have, feel exited by potential to overcome our problems and feel good about what we can do to improve ourselves?

What about placing all our values on what blessings we may be able to obtain?

What about what we can do for the future?

I just cannot agree with God's mentality, though I agree that we should not complain all the time; we can still have a positive mindset in this way I say.
